László Krasznahorkai shares his thoughts on winning the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025.

‘I am deeply glad that I have received the Nobel Prize — above all because this award proves that literature exists in itself, beyond various non- literary expectations, and that it is still being read. And for those who read it, it offers a certain hope that beauty, nobility, and the sublime still exist for their own sake. It may offer hope even to those in whom life itself only barely flickers. Trust — even if there seems to be no reason to’

His novels include Satantango, The Melancholy of Resistance and Herscht 07769, which was published in paperback this September. Published on our Tuskar Rock list, discover the work of this visionary author now.

László Krasznahorkai wins the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025

Huge congratulations to László Krasznahorkai, who has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2025.

The Academy cited the 71-year-old’s “compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art”. Congratulations also to Peter Straus and Colm Tóibín whose visionary publishing brought him to their Tuskar Rock list. Tóibín says “he has elevated the novel form and is to be ranked among the great European novelists”.

A towering figure in contemporary fiction, Krasznahorkai was born in Gyula, Hungary, in 1954 and has long been celebrated for his hypnotic prose and visionary scope. His many other accolades include the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature for Baron Wenckheim’s Homecoming, the 2015 Man Booker International Prize for lifetime achievement and the 2024 Prix Formentor for lifetime achievement. Several of his most famous novels, including Satantango and The Melancholy of Resistance, were turned into films by the director Béla Tarr.

We celebrate this historic achievement and look forward to readers discovering (or rediscovering) one of literature’s most fearless voices. Congratulations once again to László Krasznahorkai!

‘Lush and magical, creepy and shocking - Kerr is a born storyteller’ Jenn Ashworth, author of Ghosted

The pit towns of Northalbion are seething with protest and unrest ... and when townsfolk begin to turn up mauled, locals suspect the murderous and mythical Wolf of Whindale.

Caleb, banished for crossing a picket line, is forced to take work with pit owner and antiquarian Mr Siskin, who is in pursuit of an ancient artefact that may have magical properties. But searching for buried treasure in lonely places brings danger when there is a bloodthirsty killer on the loose - whether wolf, man or something else entirely. Laced with myth, faith and avarice, The Wolf of Whindale is a superbly twisted and ferociously imaginative English horror story set in a stormy northern landscape.

#TheWolfOfWhindale by Jacob Kerr publishes today! 🐺

‘We’re going to give this money away... squander it. To whomever, randomly. And you’re going to help me do it…’

Our new edition of the International Booker-longlisted #Eurotrash by Christian Kracht, translated by Daniel Bowles, has landed in time for its October publication. This cult translated hit has fans from Karl Ove Knausgaard to Nell Zink and takes readers on a journey like never before…

A middle-aged man embarks on a dubious road trip through Switzerland with his eighty-year-old mother, recently discharged from a mental institution. Driving across the country, they attempt to give away her arms-industry wealth, but a fortune of such immensity is hard to squander. Haunted in different ways by the figure of her father, an ardent supporter of Nazism, mother and son can no longer avoid delving into the darkest truths about their past.

#Eurotrash is an unsettling and tragicomic tale of two people who cannot escape one another… Who wants a copy?
